Akin Gump Secures Summary Judgment in a False Claims Act Lawsuit Filed by the United States Against Aegis Therapies and Golden Living

Apr 11 15

Akin Gump secured summary judgment in a False Claims Act (FCA) lawsuit filed by the United States against Aegis Therapies and Golden Living. The United States had alleged that Aegis knowingly provided medically unnecessary therapy to Medicare Part A beneficiaries residing in a Golden Living SNF because the beneficiaries did not achieve significant improvement. As proof, the government primarily relied upon the testimony of its expert witnesses, who reviewed a sample of records, and then sought FCA damages based upon a statistical extrapolation of the sample. The Akin Gump team showed that the Department of Justice used the wrong health care regulatory standard one that applied to outpatient settings and inpatient rehabilitation facilities, but not to the Medicare Part A SNF residents relevant to the lawsuit to evaluate the health care claims of the defendants.
